XYLOGRAPHY

Original Woodcut Prints • Limited Editions

After nearly three decades, I returned to xylography (woodcut printmaking), a technique in which I originally received my formal artistic training.

For me, woodcut is a meditative process that combines precision with improvisation. Carving requires deliberate decisions, while printing opens possibilities for experimentation with ink, paper, texture, and color.

As one of the oldest forms of printmaking, xylography connects the physical act of creating an image with a long artistic tradition. Each print reflects the relationship between line, surface, material, and the artist's gesture.

THE WOODCUT PROCESS

Each woodcut begins with carving an image into a wooden block. The process combines precise, deliberate gestures with experimentation during printing, where ink, paper, and pressure introduce new possibilities.
